:description: Instructions for setting up ESP32 bluetooth low energy device trackers using ESPHome.
:image: bluetooth.svg
2018-11-14 22:12:27 +01:00
The ``esp32_ble_tracker`` component creates a global hub so that you can track bluetooth low energy devices
using your ESP32 node.
2018-05-14 21:15:49 +02:00
See :ref:`Setting up devices <esp32_ble_tracker-setting_up_devices>` for information on how you can determine
the MAC address of a device and track it using ESPHome.
.. warning::
The BLE software stack on the ESP32 consumes a significant amount of RAM on the device.
**Crashes are likely to occur** if you include too many additional components in your device's
configuration. Memory-intensive components such as :doc:`/components/voice_assistant` and other
audio components are most likely to cause issues.

.. note::
The first time this component is enabled for an ESP32, the code partition needs to be
resized. Please flash the ESP32 via USB when adding this to your configuration. After that,
you can use OTA updates again.

Configuration variables:
2018-08-24 22:44:01 +02:00
------------------------
2018-05-14 21:15:49 +02:00
- **scan_parameters** (*Optional*): Advanced parameters for configuring the scan behavior of the ESP32.
See also `this guide by Texas Instruments <https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/content/simplelink_academy_cc2640r2sdk_5_10_02_00/modules/blestack/ble_scan_adv_basic/ble_scan_adv_basic.html#scanning-basics>`__
for reference.
- **interval** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): The interval between each consecutive scan window.
This is the time the ESP spends on each of the 3 BLE advertising channels.
Defaults to ``320ms``.
- **window** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): The time the ESP is actively listening for packets
on a channel during each scan interval. If this is close to the ``interval`` value, the ESP will
spend more time listening to packets (but also consume more power). Defaults to ``30ms``
- **duration** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): The duration of each complete scan. This has no real
impact on the device but can be used to debug the BLE stack. Defaults to ``5min``.
- **active** (*Optional*, boolean): Whether to actively send scan requests to request more data
after having received an advertising packet. With some devices this is necessary to receive all data,
but also drains those devices' power a bit more. Some devices don't need this, in that case
you can save power and RF pollution by setting it to ``false``. Defaults to ``true``.
- **continuous** (*Optional*, boolean): Whether to scan continuously (forever) or to only scan when
asked to start a scan (with start_scan action). Defaults to ``true``.
2018-06-06 09:22:35 +02:00
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID for this ESP32 BLE Hub.
2018-05-14 21:15:49 +02:00
Automations:
- **on_ble_advertise** (*Optional*, :ref:`Automation <automation>`): An automation to perform
when a Bluetooth advertising is received. See :ref:`esp32_ble_tracker-on_ble_advertise`.
- **on_ble_manufacturer_data_advertise** (*Optional*, :ref:`Automation <automation>`): An automation to
perform when a Bluetooth advertising with manufacturer data is received. See
:ref:`esp32_ble_tracker-on_ble_manufacturer_data_advertise`.
- **on_ble_service_data_advertise** (*Optional*, :ref:`Automation <automation>`): An automation to
perform when a Bluetooth advertising with service data is received. See
:ref:`esp32_ble_tracker-on_ble_service_data_advertise`.
- **on_scan_end** (*Optional*, :ref:`Automation <automation>`): An automation to perform when
a BLE scan has completed (the duration of the scan). This works with continuous set to true or false.

Use on single-core chips
------------------------
On dual-core devices the WiFi component runs on core 1, while this component runs on core 0.
When using this component on single core chips such as the ESP32-C3 both WiFi and ``ble_tracker`` must run on
the same core, and this has been known to cause issues when connecting to WiFi. A work-around for this is to
enable the tracker only while the native API is connected. The following config will achieve this:
.. code-block:: yaml
esp32_ble_tracker:
scan_parameters:
continuous: false
api:
encryption:
key: !secret encryption_key
on_client_connected:
- esp32_ble_tracker.start_scan:
continuous: true
on_client_disconnected:
- esp32_ble_tracker.stop_scan:
